Light winds days 3-5

Very light to no winds have persisted in this area for serveral days now. Folks a few hundred miles to the west are getting 10-15 knot winds. Progress as been slow as you can see by the position dots.
Light breezes in the 5-8 knot range have come up in the evening, which is good because it gives me 2-3 knots and the boats steers and maintains a course. Days were chilly for the first couple out of Cabo but have warmed back up. Starts out cloudy in the morning then turns to sun by late morning.

Yesterday, while running under engine, 4 dolphins came to play in the bow wave. The water is so deep blue and clear here it was so fun to watch. As they peeled away and went deep, I could easily see them to 30 or 40 feet.

Big sunset yesterday. I think it was the first where there was no horizon haze for cloud cover. Watched the orb sink into the sea.

Light winds are forecast to continue for at least the next two days.
